What exactly is the business model?

  It's a non-profit run with donations. I don't know how much of the code/other contributions are from the community and how much by Mozilla employees though. I could imagine that the translations - for instance - are mostly done by bilingual hobbyists.

    This is totally incorrect. The majority of Mozilla's current funding comes from a deal with Google to make them the default search engine in Firefox. Google pays for this because search traffic is valuable.

      Oops. I knew that they get a lot from such deals, but that much? (First Google result said it's 97% of their income).
